There are repetive posts because people keep posting new threads asking the same quesitons. Maybe a "sticky" will help a little bit in reducing the clutter, but I doubt it. There are an awful lot of people that think that their potty training problems are unique.

Just about every topic in the training section (along with most of the others) came from the general topic section moved there by the mods after the forum re-vamp.

I agree that stickys are a wonderful help, IN MOST cases. However, it seems that they are simply ignored as a rule on TP.

Can't tell you how many topics I (personally) move to the dog section, out of the general section on a daily basis. This despite the stickys at the top of this section requesting folks to post in the correct section.

I agree that MANY of those threads need to be deleted, but seems like as soon as the mods delete one, there are three to take it's place.

Soooooo, in short, folks don't bother to read the stickys and will continually repost the same topics again and again.

"Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful".

JBG, you are more than welcome to contact admin and volunteer as a mod. Those sections with the stickys are the most active boards on the forum. Those stickys are there for a purpose. Not the fault of the mods if posters don't take the time to read them.

Patch, as with your last thread I stickied for you, I will be happy to do one in the training section. You just have to prepare yourself to see posts asking the same questions you have already answered.

Just a thought, I know I am reading this late, but perhaps the reason the same question is asked over and over is that a newbie, not knowing about the topics looks at the first page does not see what they want, so they ask the question.
